I am in a lot of pain currently going for Atos assessment.It is very difficult as I have to travel by cab and it is a fairly long journey. Due to the excruciating pain.

I will like to have the assessment done at home, I want to record it,so I have sent a request to record the assessment.Anyone had an assessment done by Atos at home recently? Is there anything I need to know, the last time Atos assessed me for my DLA

They twisted my words and took the. Motability car from me and that has made me a virtual prisoner in my house, with severe pain affecting me moving around has been difficult if not near impossible.

Have a look on Ebay theres lots of james bond type gadgets on there. Tell them you are recording the test, but dont tell them you have hidden recorders. They are sneaky so you have to be.........good luck

i did have a visit at my home last June and sat there for a hour talking to the Dr from atos but when the report came back i thought so down you have to watch them they twist your answers and say they do examination of my back which he did not and said i have problems but will not get worse so i was told i could not get DWA i have appeal this

and last Monday and went to hearing of my appeal but in the report from DWP made the decision with out taking any notice of my own doctor so now got to go back at a later date as they want more information from my doctor

this is taking its toll on me as i have 4 problems ischaemic heart disease ,angina,arthritis in neck and lower back

depression( this is caused by the pain i am in ) persistently back dominant pain and nerve damage in my facet joints
